Hybrid, diesel, petrol. Many different options.
One outcome: Porsche.
Drive systems.
The drive system of the  
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Hybrid drives are suitable for use in a 
wide range of scenarios. On road, off 
road or on the track – to us, it ’s about 
using technology in the most intelligent 
way. This enables us to introduce hybrid 
technology into a variet y of different   
vehicle concepts.
The clearest proof of this is the 918 Spyder 
– a concept study for the super sports car 
of the future. The electric   machines in its 
plug-in hybrid system work in conjunction 
with the high rpm 
  engine to deliver out-
standing performance with incredibly low 
fuel consumption.
Another example of a track- derived racing 
vehicle is the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. With   
its front-wheel hybrid drive and fly wheel  storage system, it is an extremely 
  modern  
interpretation of a thoroughbred 
racecar with great potential for the 
 future.
With the Cayenne S Hybrid, our primary 
focus was on meeting customer require -
ments in terms of athleticism, high effi -
ciency and greater everyday practicality. 
The result: the parallel full hybrid.
The Cayenne S Hybrid has a 3.0 -litre V6 
supercharged engine. The charging 
effect of the compressor ensures high 
  levels of torque, even at low engine 
speeds. The unit generates an output of 
245 kW (333 hp). 440 Nm of torque is 
available bet ween 3,000 and 5,250 rpm, 
enabling a low-rev, economical driving 
style while offering exceptional reserves 
of power. At 288 volts, the electric machine has 
 
a maximum output of 34 kW (47 hp).   
The benefits of the synchronous motor 
with inner rotor design are extremely 
compact dimensions and high levels of 
efficiency. It also acts as a starter motor 
and alternator. 
Working in tandem, both units provide   
a total output of 279 kW 
(380 hp) and 
maximum torque of 580 Nm,
 propelling 
the car from 0 to 100 km/ h in just 
6.5 seconds. These are the levels of 
acceleration you would usually expect 
from an eight- cylinder unit, but with   
a combined fuel consumption of 
8.2 l/100 km in the EU cycle.
1)
On the parallel full hybrid system, the 
electric machine is integrated directly 
into the drivetrain. The hybrid module   
is situated bet ween the transmission   
and the combustion engine. The engine 
is engaged and disengaged using a 
  specially designed decoupler.
The electronic engine management 
  system receives all information on the 
driving and energy status and controls 
both drive systems to ensure optimum 
performance in any driving scenario.   
It shuts off the combustion engine and 
switches it back on. Thanks to the ultra-
fast decoupler and instantaneous engine 
start-up, all of this goes unnoticed by   
the driver. Under moderate acceleration, 
the electric machine can power the    vehicle independently using electricity 
alone. For example, for driving quietly 
through residential areas. In addition, 
 
it can be used to boost performance – 
for even faster acceleration.
The parallel full hybrid concept also 
comes into its own during performance 
driving. When the Cayenne S Hybrid is 
Parallel full hybrid
driven at high speeds and on overrun, 
the combustion engine is automatically 
disengaged from the drivetrain and shut 
off: the car continues to ‘coast’ along. 
Engine drag and the associated losses 
are eliminated and efficiency is increased 
at speeds of up to 156 km/ h.

Six-speed manual gearbox.
The six-speed manual gearbox on the 
Cayenne has been specifically adapted 
for the demands of high-performance 
use. The gear lever throw is short and 
precise, and each of the six ratios has 
been selected for optimum progression 
through the gears. As the centre console 
rises to meet the dashboard, the gear 
lever is close to hand – for an even more 
engaging drive.
The standard upshift display in the 
  instrument cluster helps to reduce fuel 
consumption further still. Eight-speed Tiptronic S is also available 
as an option on the Cayenne in conjunc
-
tion with the auto start/stop function.
Standard on the Cayenne.
Eight-speed Tiptronic S.
The outstanding feature of the eight-
speed Tiptronic S is a particularly wide 
ratio spread. 1st gear is designed for 
optimum acceleration when pulling away 
and greater performance when tackling 
ascents and towing loads in off-road 
  terrain. Top speed is reached in 6th gear 
(in 7th gear on the Cayenne Diesel). The 
remaining upper gears are used to lower 
the revs at high speed, thereby enhanc -
ing fuel economy and occupant comfort.  On the motorway in particular, driving 
 
at low revs will significantly reduce the 
noise level inside the vehicle. 
In automatic mode, the driver can influ -
ence gearshifts on the Tiptronic S using 
the throt tle and brakes alone. Tiptronic S 
automatically adapts the gearshift points 
for performance driving – equally, if a 
more defensive driving st yle is detected, 
the system selects a gearshift point that 
offers maximum fuel economy. Under 
heav y braking, Tiptronic S shifts down to 
maximise engine braking.
An electric pump is used to maintain the 
required pressure of the transmission fluid, 
e.g. to transmit high levels of torque
 at 
lower engine speeds.  The standard sports steering wheel in 
conjunction with Tiptronic S has two 
  ergonomic switches for manual gear 
changes. One press forward with the 
thumb and Tiptronic S shifts up. One 
 
pull backwards with the index finger and 
Tiptronic S shifts down. Either the right 
or left-hand switch can be used. The 
  result: an even more dynamic response 
when changing gear.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel, 
  Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid, 
 
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo. 
Optional for the Cayenne.

Intelligent, discreet, responsive.
The ideal travelling companion.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) 
on the Cayenne, Cayenne S,  
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is 
an active all-wheel drive system with an 
electronically variable, map-controlled 
multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differ -
ential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).
Torque is distributed bet ween the front 
and rear axles by means of the electron -
ically variable multi-plate clutch. For the 
toughest off-road terrain, the differential 
can be locked using the PTM control  
on the centre console. With the aid of 
on-board sensors, the status of the car 
is continuously monitored and the front/
rear split is adjusted to match changing 
driving conditions. The sensors are used 
to measure a range of values, including  the rotational speed of all four wheels, 
the lateral and longitudinal acceleration 
of the car, and the current steering 
angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten 
to lose traction under acceleration, a 
greater proportion of drive torque is 
  automatically transmit ted to the front 
axle by a more positive engagement of 
the multi-plate clutch. In addition, ASR 
minimises wheel spin. During cornering, 
the required level of engine torque is 
  distributed to the front wheels to ensure 
excellent lateral stability. 
In conjunction with advanced Porsche 
Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 68), PTM 
ensures the perfect distribution of drive 
torque for optimum traction in all road 
scenarios, whether on long straights, 
through tight corners or on surfaces 
 
with different friction coefficients. If one 
of the wheels is about to lose traction, 
PTM uses the ABD function to apply the 
corresponding brake. As a result, more 
drive is automatically transferred to   
the opposite wheel. If both wheels on 
one axle are in danger of slipping, ASR 
immediately intervenes and modifies 
  engine output to maintain drive. As well  as enhancing traction and active safet y, 
Porsche Traction Management (PTM) 
  offers exceptional handling and driving 
dynamics.Standard on the Cayenne, Cayenne S, 
Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo.

Porsche Traction Management   
(PTM) on the Cayenne Diesel and   
Cayenne S Hybrid.
The Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S 
  Hybrid feature a permanent all-wheel 
drive system with self-locking centre 
  differential. This provides a standard 
torque split of 60  % to the rear and   
40  % to the front. If one of the wheels   
is about to lose grip, the self-locking   
centre differential transmits the torque   
to the axle offering the highest level of 
traction. 
The ASR and ABD systems 
work in the same way as in the PTM on 
the   Cayenne, Cayenne  S, Cayenne GTS 
 
and Cayenne Turbo.
On the Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S 
Hybrid, PTM also enables variable   distribution of engine torque to the rear 
wheels, thereby enhancing steering pre
-
cision and driving dynamics. Specifically, 
this means that when entering a corner 
at high speed, moderate brake pressure 
is applied to the inside rear wheel.   
This supports the steering motion of   
the car, thereby improving its cornering 
dynamics.
Standard on the Cayenne Diesel and  
Cayenne S Hybrid.
Downhill assistance.
A standard feature on all Cayenne models, 
Porsche Hill   Control (PHC) provides 
downhill assistance by maintaining a  
constant rate of speed on extreme  downhill gradients. It is activated via a 
switch on the centre console. The speed 
can be set to bet ween 3 and 30 km/ h.
